Help Swype on HTC Desire HD

Hi! I have just bought the HTC Desire HD in the UK, and I cannot figure out which version to download from the internet for Swype. Where do I download it from? And what device do I select? On the Brothersoft website they do not offer HTC Desire HD as an option.

I installed Swype via 1mobile on my HTC Desire HD. I managed to select the Swype keyboard for input, but though it shows the trace, no word actually gets inputted when I start composing a message.
Any ideas?

As I said above, the only way you can get Swype is to join the beta here. Downloading it from anywhere else is piracy and so discussing where to find it is against the forum rules.

The copy you downloaded found is an expired beta version, which is why it no longer works.

I have an official version from being a tester, and I had the same problem. After selecting Swype I could type, but not swype, but I figured it out. With Swype as the selected keyboard, press and hold until you can select input method, and then select the default keyboard. Then do the samething again to re-select Swype, and it should work. It did for me as I can now swype all day long.
